GREENWICH, Conn. -- Women of Vision Fairfield County invites those interested in learning more about the Syrian refugee crisis to a Nov. 2 presentation in Greenwich by a World Vision worker who has visited refugee camps.

Steve Haas, catalyst and senior engagement leader at World Vision, will talk about his personal experiences traveling to refugee camps, along with the political, cultural and religious forces behind the war in Syria.

The war in Syria has become the biggest humanitarian tragedy in recent times, with nearly 4.5 million Syrians living in refugee camps. The refugee crisis has created an emergency in Syria's neighboring countries and around the world.
